Pastry Flour
Pastry flour is a type of wheat flour milled to a fine consistency with a moderate protein content, typically ranging from 8 to 9.5%. Its origins are tied to the baking traditions of North America, where it is favored for its versatility in creating tender yet flaky pastries. This flour offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a fine, smooth texture that contributes to delicate baked goods. When used in cooking, pastry flour strikes a balance between cake flour's softness and all-purpose flour's robustness, allowing dough to hold its shape while remaining tender. It excels in recipes where a fine crumb is desired without the heaviness that higher protein flours can impart.
Tomatillos
Tomatillos are a staple in Mexican cuisine, botanically related to tomatoes but distinct in both flavor and appearance. Originating in Mexico, they have been cultivated for thousands of years and are often referred to as Mexican husk tomatoes. Their flavor is tangy and mildly acidic with a hint of citrus, reminiscent of a green tomato but more complex. The texture is firm and juicy, offering a satisfying crunch when eaten raw. In cooking, tomatillos are known for their ability to balance dishes with their unique tartness, often used to make salsas and sauces that require roasting or blending. They release their juices readily, contributing to vibrant, flavorful liquids that form the base of many traditional dishes.
